Haji Lane

Haji Lane is a popular attraction tucked away in the Kampong Glam neighbourhood, and one of the places that you must visit while in Singapore. This tiny lane is located in a neighbourhood that takes pride in being a Muslim quarter, and the result is a bustling fashion scene and the dream of every fashion lover.

The lane comprises a collection of many shop houses that have, over the years, changed the lane to be one of the country’s hip locations for retail therapy. The lane did in fact get its name from the numerous businesses present. Additionally, the presence of many Arabs who would plan haj for Muslims present in Singapore has also contributed significantly to the meteoric rise in popularity of this street.

Take some time off and stroll along this fashion paradise. Start off at ‘Know It Nothing’, an eclectic store that stocks some of the most elegant dress shirts one would ever need. Look out for the iconic silver skull buttons that are a work of art by renowned fashion label, Garni.

Visit Salad to get all your home accessories and give your living space a makeover. The table mats, which are popular because they are laser cut, are a befitting choice for those with a modern home. Alternatively, pop by Pluck, another popular store that is loved for its tastefully designed cushion covers. Visitors will also fall in love with the ice-cream parlour on location too.

If you are looking for a unique souvenir and want to steer away from the usual, pass by Carrie Chau. This is a Hong Kong-based entity that specialises in the design of amazing postcards with quirky messages. Send the postcards to friends and loved ones or simply buy one as a keepsake.

For those who love stationery, The Haji by Paper People is an incredible store with a wide array of excellent products to suit different styles. Wind up your tour of Haji Lane with an amazing meal at the cafe le Caire. This charming cafe serves up the most delicious Middle East cuisine treats and is worth checking out.

Enjoy one of Singapore’s most amazing attractions when you visit Haji Lane. You can get here by catching the MRT and alighting at Bugis which is on the Downtown or East/West line.
